Viscoderm 1.6

VISCODERM is the only preparation acid-based ialuonico non-crosslinked for skin rejuvenation, available in 3 concentrations distinction:

Hyaluronan 0.8%.

Hyaluronan 1.6%.

Hyaluronic acid 2.0%.

Sterile – single use only.
Pharmaceutical form and pack sizes available
VISCODERM comes in the form of 1.25 ml glass syringe containing 1 ml of solution.
Pack size of one.
Syringes pre-filled in the three concentrations available:

Hyaluronic acid is a polysaccharide present naturally in the human body, whose main function is to maintain a proper hydration of tissues, due to the intrinsic ability to bind a large amount of water. The sodium salt of hyaluronic acid (sodium hyaluronate) is formed by repeating disaccharide units of N-acetylglucosamine and sodium glucuronate and represents a fundamental component of the extracellular matrix of most tissues, particularly the skin.
VISCODERM consists a buffered saline solution of hyaluronic acid. The hyaluronic acid used is obtained by fermentation and has not undergone chemical processes of change.
VISCODERM contains highly purified sodium hyaluronate with a molecular weight of about 1 million Dalton, a value corresponding to that of hyaluronic acid endogenous.
The other components of the product are: sodium chloride, sodium phosphate and water for injections. The contents of the syringe are sterile and pyrogen-free.

IndicationsVISCODERM intervenes:

- In the physiological process of aging of the skin, including the effects of which include thickening of the stratum corneum (roughness and less brightness of the skin), and alteration of the elastic fibers of the skin (wrinkles).

- In the process of repair of the dermal tissue, in cases of scarring following trauma superficial skin (eg. chicken pox or acne scars).

The viscoelastic properties and moisturizing hyaluronic acid, coupled with the ability to maintain this acid at adequate levels in skin tissue, allow rehydration of the tissues and allow you to create the optimum condition to prevent and combat the skin aging process and promote a remodeling tissue and the subsequent corrective effect of scarring of the skin.

Furthermore, administration by intradermal VISCODERM and therefore its action at the level of the dermis and epidermis not, allows to make directly into the tissue to be treated a quantity of hyaluronic acid for optimal counteract the cytotoxic action of free radicals on fibroblasts, ensuring the effectiveness of the preventive and corrective of medical aesthetics.

The hyaluronic acid used for VISCODERM is produced by fermentation using natural substrates, without further chemical modifications. For this reason VISCODERM exhibits excellent biocompatibility and its use in dermal allows the integration of hyaluronic acid endogenous degraded because of the physiological process of aging of the skin or by the action of UV radiation, radicals, xenobioti and superficial skin trauma .

Hyaluronic acid also has a role in the extracellular matrix, which creates the physiological conditions for the proliferation, migration, and the organization of the cellular component dermal.

Posology and method of use

Concentration 0.8%, indicated for the maintenance of the remedial effect of the treatment.

Concentration 1.6%, indicated for the initial treatment of large surfaces and thin skin and delicate.

Concentration 2.0%: indicated for the initial treatment cycle mainly of the face.

It is recommended that an initial course of three treatment sessions at intervals of a week of each other, possibly followed by monthly maintenance sessions.
